Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Δ EAB and Δ EDC are similar by the AA postulate , so the ratio of corresponding sides are in proportion , that is
= 
, substitute values
= 
( cross- multiply )
10(x + 3) = 4(2x + 10 ) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
10x + 30 = 8x + 40 ( subtract 8x from both sides )
2x + 30 = 40 ( subtract 30 from both sides )
2x = 10 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter is found by adding together all the lengths of the sides. For us, that is x + (2x + 5) + (6x - 17) + (3x + 2). Now we will just combine like terms. We can also drop the parenthesis because they do nothing for us and mean nothing to the problem.
x + 2x + 5 + 6x - 17 + 3x + 2 becomes
12x - 10
Answer: 23 1/24
Step-by-step explanation:
There's no divisible number, hence multiply the two denominators to get 24
Then solve to get: 23 16 -15/24
23 1/24
